No they don't. Some kid getting bumped from #308 overall to #197 overall on 247 a month after committing to a top 5 program has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on that program's roster situation. The ranking number attached to that particular player on Rivals.com does not make him any better or worse at football.

Look, I said the idea wasn't perfect, it's just a concept. You don't have to use those services per se, it's just an example of how it could be done. You could have your own independent evaluators much like the CFP committee. And yes, I would expect the recruiting sites to go in total revolt over that idea...



It doesn't matter who is responsible for it. Either way you're using an incredibly subjective standard to determine who gets to sign which players. It's the equivalent of the NFL telling the team who wins the Super Bowl that they don't get to pick anyone who is a top 50 player in the draft according to Mel Kiper.

ESPN doesn't control College football. Seriously.

How's if different than the NFL subjectively devising the monetary value of their players? And the NFL does that already. It's called the NFL draft. It's why the winning super bowl team doesn't get the 1st pick in the draft every year. If we use the current NCAA model, that's exactly what would happen. Alabama and the top CFB teams would get all the top draft picks. It's why we've had 15 different teams in the last 10 super bowls and 6 in the College Football Championship game.
